See what the critics are saying about 'Fast Food':
"The
album’s most dulcet song, “Nothing Else to Do,” has as its entire
lyric, “And there was nothing else to do but fall in love.” She repeats
the line, assembling her voice into a choir over gently picked guitar,
like a lullaby; then an eerie brass ensemble replaces her voices, and
then a raucous guitar moves in. Soothing, otherworldly, contentious —
that’s love, and she’s prepared."
"Other things one could compare Nadine Shah to include: early Nick Cave, a burning bridge, the parts of Marianne Faithfull’s autobiography where she talks about what a ninny Mick Jagger was, lipstick traces on a cigarette, a particularly opinionated raven, late Nick Cave. Basically, the real good stuff."
"...Shah, who stands at the footlights on Fast Food and creates
a powerful sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The best songs here
zero in on a single evocative moment and spellbind you with it."
"Fast Food isn’t exactly fast or cookie cutter. This album is to be slowly digested and savored like a gourmet meal."
"An assured second outing, Fast Food is a full realisation of Shah's noirish visions."
"The
somber songstress’s first release since 2013’s Love Your Dum and Mad,
again produced by Ben Hillier, draws you in from the first striking
instrumental while highlighting what really gives Shah’s music its
power, the monstrous capability of her voice to growl and thrill." 
"But
still she falls, helplessly, as if hypnotised, a motion she celebrates
in Nothing Else to Do with such perfumed languor that it’s hard not to
fall in love back."
“A full-blooded show of assurance, rich in dramatic relish, served with style”
“Her seductive second album could soon make Nadine Shah a household name”
"Most
captivating of all is Shah's voice that, veering between a gentle croon
and a semi-operatic howl, sends tiny shards through the heart."
'Fast Food' is the follow up to Nadine Shah's critically acclaimed debut 'Love Your Dum and Mad' released in the summer of 2013. Working again with her collaborator, renowned producer Ben Hillier (Doves, Blur, Depeche Mode, Elbow The Horrors etc.) 'Fast Food'
was created in a two month intensive writing session and recorded at
The Pool in London. The result is every bit as dramatic as we’ve come to
expect from Nadine but with a sharpened eye for all things hook laden;
retaining this brooding grandeur in its movements. the The album
features contributions from guitarist Nick Webb and bassist Pete Jobson (of I Am Kloot fame).
'Fast Food' enterted the brand new UK Vinyl Chart at an impressive #9. Already one of the most played artists on BBC6 Music this year, Nadine was the voice of their recent festival in February and 'Fast Food' earned the honor of 'Album of the Day' in addition Steve Lamacqs 'Album of the Week.' With festival season fast approaching, Nadine has already been confirmed to play The Latitude Festival, End Of The Road Festival and Linisfarne Festival with
some other big additions to her summer itinerary in the coming weeks.
Nadine is about to embark on a European trek after a mostly sold out UK
tour last month.
U.S plans are in the works and will be announced soon.
